Sharp upper-bound conjecture for Fermat quotients
Sharp upper-bound conjecture for Fermat quotients
Let denote the -adic valuation. The variables and are integers with , and and are primes in the second assertion. Sharp upper-bound conjecture for Fermat quotients. Except for finitely many pairs , one has
Furthermore, except for finitely many pairs of primes, one has
The conjecture is presented as a sharper form of the preceding bounds; the source also notes a consequence under the abc conjecture, but does not establish these assertions.
